Bug Description
I have installed Ubuntu 17.10 (amd64) several times now and I have noticed it retains an issue that has been present in the Ubuntu installer (I forget its name) for several years, if not since the inception of the current installer so my apologies for only just reporting this.
If you install Ubuntu on a computer that has an active ethernet internet connection and you choose the 'Download updates while installing Ubuntu' option, this doesn't happen. Instead, the Ubuntu software updater usually finds several packages that require updating upon first boot which means choosing 'Download updates while installing Ubuntu' doesn't work.
If this can't be made to work so that no further updates are required on first boot then this option should be removed from the 18.04 installer because it doesn't do what it claims.
